Sailing back to the mainland, Aether and Morax journeyd back to the road which would normally lead to the village of Etal. When they got to there, they saw a great fortress of flesh and bone. Filled with rotting bodies which may have once been human, with eyes that glowed with ever-changing color, their fathers bodies among them confirmed their suspicions. They began their killing spree towards the fortress.
Aether, having recieved his blade of origins, was restored the powers of his former lives through it, and was weaving through the bodies like a hot knife through butter. Morax on the other hand, was restored to his former self when he put Aether back in his own body. But with each kill, he was gaining more understanding. This was not just a blade which could absorb the energies of another living being, but it would completely absorb their souls, memories and genetic information, and assimilate them himself. It allowed him to choose the best traits and abilities into himself and with each kill, his power was increasing exponentially. Not only that, but the memories of those he devoured revealed the answers to the questions for which he departed for this journey.
An old and dying race from another world made attempts to join the humans in their population of a new world. However, the humans slaughtered the incoming Seaceans and destroyed their gate, and thus those that entered from the other side emerged in the negative realm of that world. Over half of their race entered the doorway in hopes of resurfacing in the promised land, only to emerge in a cold, dark, silent hell. The few that made it onto the other side before the door was destroyed were lucky, they made it to the world of mortals, and their souls made it to the afterlife.
Those that ended up in the negative void of that world turned cannibal and killed each other to survive. Their souls trapped forevermore in that place. The last one to come through the doorway
